Lin Wanqiu jumped up with joy, hugged Shen Tingzhou and kissed him: "That's great! This way our income will be more stable, and we can save up enough money to build a new house faster. Once the new house is built, we'll decorate Nian'an's room nicely and buy him a new desk so he can study properly."

Shen Nian'an ran over, grabbed Lin Wanqiu's hand, and said excitedly, "Mom, I will study hard in the future, and when I grow up, I will help you and Dad grow tomatoes and make money together, so that our family's life will get better and better!"

Lin Wanqiu patted her son's head, her heart filled with hope. Looking at the vibrant tomato seedlings in the yard, thinking about the new house that was about to be built and the cannery that might open in the future, a smile involuntarily crept onto her face—although Lin Moli had brought her some minor troubles, it had also strengthened her resolve. She would rely on her own hands, leading her family and fellow villagers, to carve out a place for herself in this hopeful 1960s, making their lives as prosperous and sweet as the tomatoes in the yard.

Over the next few days, Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou busied themselves with preparations for building their new house. They hired bricklayers and carpenters from the village, chose an auspicious day, and planned to officially begin construction at the beginning of next month. The villagers also volunteered to help, some helping to move timber, some helping to mix mortar, and others helping to look after Nian'an. The whole courtyard was bustling with activity and filled with laughter.

Looking at the scene before her, Lin Wanqiu was filled with emotion. She recalled her past life, struggling alone in a big city, without family or friends, bearing all the hardships alone. But now, she had a loving husband, a sensible and considerate son, and kind-hearted villagers—these were her most precious treasures in this life.

That evening, Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou sat in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky and dreaming about their future. Shen Tingzhou held her hand and said firmly, "Wanqiu, thank you. You've shown me that life can be so beautiful. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, I will always be there for you, and together we will build this home into an even better place."

Lin Wanqiu leaned against Shen Tingzhou's chest, her face beaming with happiness: "Tingzhou, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything. Let's work together to give Nian'an a good environment to grow up in, and to let all the villagers live a good life. That's my biggest wish."

As night deepened, the lights in the courtyard came on, illuminating the two figures nestled together, a warm and beautiful sight. Lin Wanqiu knew that although many challenges lay ahead, as long as the family worked together and with the support of their fellow villagers, no difficulty was insurmountable. She believed that in this hopeful era, she would surely realize her dreams and lead her family and fellow villagers towards a better life.
